Thetwo passages 19 and 20 are separated by a partition 21', the iIner end of which is arranged so that the outer end of wing 12 of the valve 12may be brought .finto registry therewith.

I claim as my invention:

1. The combination with a valve -casing comprising' -a -main cylindrical .body having an induction openin an eduction openin site side anda s ings, f a longitu inaluartition arranged within said spud and divi eading from the oppoleadinginto one side,

u intermediate said open.-

lng the interior thereof 'fes into a pair of circulation passages, and aA valve rotatably mounted within the main cylindrical body and adapted to oonnect the induction and eduetion passages,` or to con neet the 'induction passage with one ol the circulation passages and the eduction passage with the othdr circulation passage.

2. The combination, with a valve casing comprising a main cylindrical body having an induction opening leading,r into one side, an ednetion opening leadingr from the opposite side and a spud intermediate Said openings, of a longitudinal partition arrange within said Spud and dividinglr the interior thereof` into a pair of circulation passages, and a valve rotatably mounted in said main cylindrical portion and comprising a central huh and a pair of divergent Wings, one of which is adapted to he brought into registry dl l l l with a partition in the Spud whereby the induction' opening; may he connected with one oi the circulation passages and the eduitionopening connected with the other ol' said circulating passages, or, hy shifting the Isaid wing out ol registry with the aforesaid pm*- tition, the induction and cduction 'openings may he comiected.
